Unless you are running late, in which case it will have started when you get there. And the 12" crossrail class will take 2 hours because for some reason you need a warmup round over jumps your horse could walk over, even if he is 13 hands tall. <br /><br />Yeah, I don't do jumper shows very often, NEVER GOING BACK to a hunter show ever again! But they are useful on occasion for schooling and it sounds like, despite being tired, you still learned from the experience, which makes it worthwhile.eventer79https://www.blogger.com/profile/03160817772061132147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-23305930907014194282012-09-13T14:03:59.488-06:002012-09-13T14:03:59.488-06:00My husband always asks me for a time.

We're close if I give him a padded estimate and then he adds two hours, but I'm pretty sure this show even beat that.SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-89338256443503450922012-09-13T10:56:31.975-06:002012-09-13T10:56:31.975-06:00This is why I ride dressage...you have a set time....This is why I ride dressage...you have a set time.

Even if things are running ahead. Even if you've already accounted for every possible delay. Even if a very honest wife is sure in her predictions. <br /><br />2 hour delay (minimum)<br /><br />I think this is why he doesn't give me death stares when a "quick trip" for a lesson, or vet appt or schooling show extends into an all day adventure.... <br /><br />Being a "horse person" I argue with him every time and am *SURE* that one of these days horse time will be speedy.Ginghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677667981067220682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-38064571468618093012012-09-12T15:08:14.961-06:002012-09-12T15:08:14.961-06:00Wow.
